in Hong Kong
restaurant was founded by Bobsy Gaia,
who sources everything responsibly,
ensuring his ingredients are all grown in
a sustainable way. In fact, he’s a known
Hong Kong environmental guru that
aims for having zero waste at the end of
every single day. It’s a laidback hangout,
which is the perfect setting for enjoying
the 100 per cent plant based food. The
signature burger is arguably one of the
most popular dishes, with its grilled
tofu, halloumi and portobello
mushroom all towered onto a spelt bun.
Then there are the zaatar fl atbreads and
extensive list of toppings to choose from.
They also serve excellent coffee, shakes
and raw juices.Veggie SF; Central
Veggie SF is a cheerful, 1950s San
Francisco themed restaurant that serves
nothing but vegetarian and vegan food
that’s made with love. The ingredients
used at this lively restaurant are
simple, but the fl avours are anything
but. The specialty here is the giant vegan
burgers that are served with everything
from spicy Korean sauce
to sweet relish mayo. If a burger
isn’t what you’re after, try the
Singaporean style laksa, soy chicken
with turmeric rice or Indonesian gado
gado. They also have a pretty awesome
all day breakfast, complete with
scrambled tofu, portobello mushroom
andpestotoast.FIVE ELEMENTS OPENS IN Hong Kong
